The Ultraback Tactical Vest incorporates everything into it that you might need on the playing field. It's modular, Special Forces inspired design lets you configure it how you want. Whether you want to wear the packs horizontal or vertical its very easy to switch the setup. You can also add or take away the tank holder attachment if you want to run a remote setup! When playing with friends with these vests you can toss a whole attachment pack to them that they can secure it right onto their vest.

Product Availability

The Flurry Industries Ultraback Tactical Vest is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore.

Well built, comfortable, one size fits all ( and fits well ), stays in place.

Weaknesses:

None that I have encountered. Can be warm, but you get used to it.

Review:

I consider this to be one the best ugrades I have ever purchased for paintball. I used to wear a generic harness that carried my air and four 100 round tubes. I play mainly wood and scenario games. I move a lot, and quickly. I wore the harness around my waist. It would slide, jiggle, twist, bounce when I would move faster than a walk. This became very annoying and very uncomfortable. I started researching tactical vests, with the idea of modifying it to fit my needs. They make a lot of really nice stuff, with a nice price tag to match. Through my search I stumbled upon the Flurry Industries web page. I really liked the vest I saw and the price just couldn't be beat. Plus there was going to be no modifications needed with it, as opposed to a tactical vest. I came to pbreview.com and read the reviews about it. I ordered it that same night.

Two days later ( at no extra shipping costs ), I got my vest. The quality cannot be beat! This vest has everything you need to carry a wallet, keys, tools anything you need for your marker and gear. All of these items are easily accessible from the front of the vest. The mask attachment is an excellent idea, just remember to take your mask bag with you to avoid your lens from getting scratched.

The pod / air holder is very thought out and well designed. You can customize it to your style of play. It uses industrial Velcro that you have to PRY off. The pod holders are really easy to get your pods out of, but can be a little tricky to get them back in quickly. Practice makes perfect though. I have never had anything fall off the back including a 68cu/4500 crossfire HPA tank. Like I said before I move a lot normally at a full sprint of run.

It fits me great (6' 180 lbs). My buddy tried it on (6'-2" 220lbs) and he had no problems wearing it either. My wife tried it on (5'-2" 105lbs) she had difficulty getting it to fit snugly, so it may not be a good purchase for a small person or child.

Conclusion:

Worth every penny! Great fit, nothing giggles, moves or bounces, even under running conditions. I would highly recommend this to anyone that uses a remote system for play.

A great way to carry your tubes and tank around! I personally I like the way these vest look and feel over a tradition harness setup.

Pros - This vest looks great. It is well manufactured and constructed. It has a pocket with a zipper - which to me is awesome. This allows me to carry my wallet and/or car keys with me, without a fearing of losing them on the field (my old vest had velcro pockets so having one zippered pocket is a bonus). A pocket that will allow for comms in the front. Adjustable tank holder so you can carry a 16oz or 20oz tank securely without it bouncing around.

Cons- I can see the mesh backing to the vest becoming damaged if you are not careful. Also some people have complained that the vest is hot, it doesn't bother me but it is an extra couple layers of material over your torso.

Conclusion:

Good product which I would recommend because of its look and feel. It is as well constructed as any other harness on the market. May not be perfect for speedball, but a must have for the rec or wood ball player.

This vest is great for scenario playing because of the protective comfort (eliminates the need of a chest protector or sweaters), it holds 6 140 round pods and a C02 tank for remote users. The vest is also completely interchangeable depending on what type player you are, a light ball hauler, heavy ball hauler, or a remote user. Overall a great product for paint balling.

This tactical vest is great!! My team has it in camouflaged and it looks very intimidating. There are pouches where you can have a two way radio setup, carry some basic tools, wallet, or some keys. Or all of that plus 4 pods and a tank on you back side without the feeling that the vest is going to fall apart on you. I have rolled and dived in bushes and dirt with no rips or tears to my vest .When running, you hardly notice it there. It conforms to the body naturally. It very easy to reach for pods. By the way you can position your tank and pods (2 at a time) in different angles on your back. It uses a velcro system which is very hard to remove once it is applied. Which is a good idea to prevent anything from falling.When I feel like running and gunning, I can remove excess components on the vest to travel light. This vest is also good protection. Especially the shots that come from behind. If you are into the scenario paintball, this is a vest to have.The only thing I see wrong with this vest is that it is HOT when using it in the summer. But I like to consider that a minor flaw.

Conclusion:

This is a excellent vest for the beginner to the expert. Not many Tactical vests can hold your gear, hold your BALLS, and tank without the sense that it will come apart on you. In fact there are not many vests out there to begin with. It is a great intimidator for the scenario paintball player. This vest has both the form and the function to be considered "tactical." You will not regret getting this one.

- Dropping car keys from non-closable Dye pants (Dye doesn't know about zippers yet).
- Dropping wallet/money on the ground.
- Not being able to carry a few tools. And god knows you don't want to run to the car when playing outdoors just to get an allen key or spare batteries or whatnot.

Contrary to what some have said, it's not that warm, it's certainly not bulky, the buttpacks are second to none (that being, very well designed), and it sticks on you like it should (good strapping).

And for those who are scared of looking bad on the field wearing some kind of body armor, well, think again. Is your way of playing so much affected by others?

Conclusion:

This is a great well made product. It does what it's meant to do. If you don't mind wearing a vest and being *slightly* warmer, it's a good thing to carry all the stuff that could go missing with regular pockets while crawling on the ground.

I like this a lot because I like comfort and durability. This vest gives a lot of protection too. It has lots of pockets. I use a 114/4500 tank, and it sticks out of the pocket a lot, and I have trouble getting back to turn it off (same with co2's) . The pods dont bounce. I like it that I can carry 5 140rd pods, a 114ci, and a 14 oz back up co2 and I don't fatigue. This is not a tourney vest, but a scenario and rec vest. This will eliminate chest protectors. I also like the ability to move everything. If you dont like the tank pouch, you can buy another 2+1 pod holder, giving a 9 140 rd. pod capacity.

Conclusion:

All in all, this is a great product. The configurability is great. It is warm, but what isn't when you are running and it's 90 out? It won't go down, and everything is secure. I recommend it if you play with the same style I do.

So far this thing is incredible! Now THIS is the way to play scenarios. All my gear attached plus 900 rounds of paint in tubes on it, and the weight is distributed so well you barely know it's there. Running, jumping, crawling, it stays put and does not wiggle like even the best waistpacks can. It is a tad warm, but that's to be expected from somthing like this. And more accessories and attachments are supposedly on the way. Can't wait to see what else can be done with it. Can't recommend this product highly enough for the scenario players out there. I can't believe every scenario player doesn't already have one.

Conclusion:

If you play scenarios, you need this. If you don't understand what I'm saying right now, just get it and you will.

I got the vest and was amazed as to how snuggly it fit compared to other harnesses on the market. Im a small set person (around 5'4) and this vest is one of the few that can fit w/o moving around even when im divin around. My dad tried it on and he could adjust it so it fit him well also (hes around 6'). It comes with 4 pockets on the front for people to hold squigees, keys, money, and a clip for your mask! The back pods holders and c02 cradle can be removed and arranged in dif way on the back. I fould that it was easier to use in a game then the previous harnesses i used and gave me more self confidence and found myself bunkering people and charging alot more. Newats hopes this helps.. Good luck

Conclusion:

I recommend for woods players and scenario players for who cant get back to base to get there other stuff like allen keys money and so on..LIttle bulky for speedball tho

I recommend this for weekend warriors like myself where parking is far from the field and security sucks. A friend got his car broken into at a paintball park and his wallet, sunglasses and cell phone were taken. I put my wallet, keys and personal stuff in my Ultraback vest and don't worry about a thing! Paint doesn't seap into compartments and paint wipes off pretty easy too!!!
